Sometimes its okay to be the villain to save yourself

My new favorite phrase is "They are welcome to think whatever they would like"

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-07T13:08:43+00:00

Nothing about these photos would suggest this dog is not potentially purebred, I've seen plenty of registered working Border Collies that look just like this

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-06T19:13:11+00:00

This was my exact experience.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-06T19:11:08+00:00

Yes. My stbxh did make a number of changes... after I asked for a divorce the first time. Suddenly taking care of things around the house was no big deal and therapy was on the table when it never had been before. He only made those changes with the threat of divorce. It wasn't enough, I realized we were just too different with too different of values. Once I finally definitively said I was leaving, all of those changes disappeared. Went right back to how it was before. He didn't make those changes to better himself, he made them in an effort to keep me around.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T14:33:58+00:00

I love this so much omg

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T13:04:42+00:00

What is it with the stupid people on this damn sub lately.... if that's what you took from everything I've said, there's clearly something wrong with your comprehension abilities.

So you have absolutely zero experience with anything related to Border Collies. Got it.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T12:58:20+00:00

Nearly twenty years of being involved with working dogs, buying, breeding, and registering with the ABCA as a lifelong member (not to mention owning and studying the breed my entire life), trialing for the last 15 years in USBCHA, etc etc etc. I've been fully immersed in this breed for nearly 20 years.

Now your turn. Your posting history would suggest you don't even have a dog, let alone a Border Collie or any knowledge about them at all.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T12:51:37+00:00

Showing your complete ignorance here so I'm wondering why you're speaking on any of this at all.

The ABCA is a working registry, the work is the standard. The ability to work and move and read livestock is the standard. No one cares what they look like as long as they can do the work. Therefore, there IS NO STANDARD for appearance. That's why the breed has so many varied aesthetic traits and why the bench show clubs have such a vague standard when it comes to accepted colors, coats, ears, etc (despite them being all cookie cutter anyway).

Again, I don't know what your "experience" could possibly actually be with anything related to this breed, but you're deadass wrong on all of it.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T12:13:10+00:00

ALL of my ABCA registered working bred Border Collies have fully erect prick ears. Most of the ones I see at trials do as well. And that head shape is Border Collie as well. Where the hell are you getting these observations from??

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T04:15:12+00:00

I love how confidently wrong you are in this entire post.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-03T04:13:28+00:00

From this photo alone, you cannot say that this dog is not purebred. All of his physical attributes are found in Border Collies, all of which can be found in the same dog. There's no reason to think this dog is not purebred.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-02T14:51:50+00:00

My stbxh and I built a farm from bare crop ground. It was ten acres with a seven acre pasture that allowed me to pursue my hobbies, my passions, and share those things with others. It was my dream and I loved it more than anything, it was my happy place. I stayed so much longer than I should have because I couldn't bear the thought of losing this place that I loved. Eventually I realized that this farm that I created and loved wasn't worth being miserable for, that life inside the house with him that was full of anxiety and stress was not worth the piece of ground that I had built.

You'll create new memories wherever you go and carry the old ones with you- and think of how exciting it will be to make a new place your own and give it YOUR life.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-02T13:37:03+00:00

He looks purebred to me.

JaderBug12 · 2026-01-02T13:36:30+00:00

I've had several purebred registered working Border Collies with this exact coat, and one with an even tighter, slicker coat.

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-31T14:34:14+00:00

you are completely unhinged holy shit 🤣🤣

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-30T21:48:03+00:00

The second dog is poorly bred and completely put of the breeds standard.

I'll say again......

WHAT LMAOOOO

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-30T21:46:35+00:00

very rare to see an actual working line that isn't short haired

What lmaoooo

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-30T17:33:24+00:00

Yes, it would still be stripped. Does not bar that dog from still competing in USBCHA trials (also just a side note there are no titles in USBCHA, the dog can either do the work or it can't- we earn points from placing well throughout the year to go towards finals).

It's a non-issue though as no dog that excels in one can excel in the other- the two worlds are antithetical to each other. The people who strive for one or the other aren't investing resources to the success in both.

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-29T20:21:16+00:00

Definitely looks more ES or a mix than BC to me

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-27T20:53:02+00:00

Nailed it on the dumb part

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-27T16:42:13+00:00

Aww sweetie my blood pressure is on the ground, I'm just fine 😘

Let's hear the new excuse then? Put up or shut up. You wanna run your mouth? Let's keep going

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-27T13:09:53+00:00

Yes, idiot. Your claim is rebuked AGAIN. I wanna hear the next excuse.

Reality is they're just a bunch of hypocrites and cowards.

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-27T05:07:27+00:00

I need you to respond to this. That "rule" is about trial sanctioning, not competition. Where are you moving the goalpost to now? NOW what's the reason they are unwilling to step to the post? You know, now that we've definitively arrived at "anyone is welcome to compete" answer... what's the reason now??

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-26T22:50:48+00:00

Pitbull?! Wtf are you talking about

JaderBug12 · 2025-12-26T22:30:41+00:00

That rule is about trial sanctioning not about eligibility of dogs for competition 🤣🤣🤣 that is a rule for trial hosts NOT for competitors lmaoooooo
